Number 1: Two Jews Debate Abdul El-Sayed
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit peterbeinart.substack.com Our guest is Rabbi Asher Lopatin, the Director of Community Relations at the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor and the Rabbi of Kehillat Etz Chaim in Oak Park, Michigan. I’ve known Rabbi Lopatin for a long time. He’s not only a great teacher of Torah, he’s also a mensch. Which makes his willingness to support Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed even more distressing to me. Nonetheless, we had a respectful conversation. I’m grateful to him for having it. We discuss: El-Sayed’s condemnation of AIPAC El-Sayed’s views about Israel The allegation that El-Sayed is singling Israel out Mike Rogers’ refusal to say that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election

Number 4: Norm Finkelstein
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit peterbeinart.substack.com Our guest is Norman Finkelstein, the longtime critic of Israel, and critic of the way the memory of the Holocaust—which both his parents survived—has been exploited to justify Israel’s actions. He has written a new book, titled Gaza’s Gravediggers. I talked to Norman about what it’s like—after decades as a political outcast—to see his views becoming mainstream. I asked him about his concern, which I share, that legitimate fury at Israel is fueling conspiracy theories that exonerate the United States. And I asked about his friend and mentor, Noam Chomsky, and what he thinks Chomsky might have said in response to October 7 and the Gaza genocide.
